$14M engine of US Air Force F-35 is destroyed after maintenance engineer left FLASHLIGHT inside it before test run
2024-01-20
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The F-35 was undergoing maintenance at Luke Air Force base in Glendale, Arizona on March 15, 2023 when the incident occurred

  • An engineer left a flashlight inside the engine: the three-person team did not follow the standard procedure of ensuring all equipment was accounted for

  • When the jet's engines were turned on, they heard a clanging sound: on shutting them down they saw the blades were damaged

Bird strike here on the ramp? No, that story just ain't gonna fly Eugene.
